Episode 18 | DX Central (Re)Live! - Season 6, Episode 15 - January 16, 2026

NEW CHALLENGE We continue with a new frequency range, another littered with large stations with smaller gems hiding in their shadows: 1500-1540 kHz. This will be a 1 week challenge. HOUR 1 See ya next season, FM: We seem to have officially entered that 'dead band' period for FM where it is too cold and stable for most tropo, meteor scatter slows to a crawl and Es - while they can happen at any time - we are likely now in the waiting game until April/May. So, what can we do during this time to start early preparation for the upcoming season? Plenty, it turns out! Quasi-Auroral Condx on MW?: There was a nice CME earlier in the week, a bit smaller than our recent activity, but that didn't stop some folks from seeing some Au condx on the MW band. HOUR 2 Computer setup options for DXers in the modern shack - why 1 PC may not be your best bet anymore Social Media Log Farming - dos and don'ts. TOH DX Hour 1 - 1180-1220 Hours 2 & 3 - 1500-1540
